Random words / Image association

Random words / image association helps us to get away from stereotype; solving a problem with a totally different approach. It opens up opportunity for people to look into something that is not common/bizarre but logical. By doing so, a simple mind map is needed and then from there, ideas and solution are found.

Random word - Kitten
